Blimey.
Seeing State of Decay 2 on top of the software charts is a genuine surprise to me!
It's somewhat strange seeing the likes of Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2 do really well in their opening months in the US however, neither of them set the charts alight anywhere else in the world except from the first couple of weeks in the weekly PAL charts threads.
If they sell so well, especially in the US, why don't Microsoft just be open about their sale figures as opposed to the comparatively meaningless 'players played' numbers?
Anyhoo, God of War being the #2 best selling game in the US this year, and on a single format to boot, is fantastic to see, and Detroit: Become Human has had a great debut.
The trio of Donkey Kong, Hyrule Warriors and Mario Kart in the top ten is a very pleasing sight, and the Switch selling more or less the same as last years hardware numbers is very good too.
Xbox One hardware is up 39%, but up from a shy over 100K units with a $50 price cut across all Xbox One S bundles isn't that great IMO. Only needs to sell 160K or more next month to have their best H1 since the Xbox One launched back in 2013.
As for the PlayStation 4, it has been available from $299 all year up until the beginning of June, and they have come out on top of the hardware ranking for the fourth month in a row. It has really deserved all of those sales, and I hope they pass the 80 million milestone very soon!
